One afternoon last week, I had a minor hissy fit and decided I was finally going to take something off my ever-growing “I’ll get to it someday” list. Not because the task I had chosen had suddenly become important. It hadn’t. I was just tired of watching that list grow. If you run your own…
Some of the clearest business lessons don’t come from strategy sessions.They come from real conversations. A client had an idea she was excited about – and almost immediately followed it with, “I just don’t even know where I’d start.” So we talked it through. We untangled the idea.Looked at the pieces.Found a place to begin….
There’s a simple idea in finance that most people understand instinctively, even if they’ve never heard the term for it. Money today is worth more than the same amount of money later. Not because it’s larger – but because it has time to do something. It can earn interest. It can be reinvested. It can…
There’s a lot of pressure right now to be visible.Post more. Show up more. Say something every day. Stay in the feed. It’s not bad advice – it’s just very loud. And for some people who care about doing good work, telling the truth, and building something that lasts, that volume can start to feel…
SEO is so important. No one will see your content without good keywords. Don’t forget the hashtags! With technology moving so quickly, it feels harder and harder to keep up. Clients ask me when it comes to content (especially for websites ) what’s the most important thing? What should I be focusing on? Bottom line?…
Q4 is a funny season. We’re looking ahead to new goals, new plans, and fresh energy for 2026. But if you’re like most entrepreneurs, you’re also carrying a backpack full of “avoided tasks” – little extra rocks you’ve been lugging around for way too long. You know exactly what I’m talking about. It’s that task…
When people picture success – in business, in creative work, in life – it’s easy to imagine those big, energized moments. The standing ovation. The product launch. The perfect post or blog that suddenly gets all the clicks. But the truth is: motivation doesn’t show up every day. It might be helpful if it did,…
When I say the word coach, what pops into your head? Maybe someone with a clipboard and a whistle yelling “Hustle!” from the sidelines. Or maybe that one person in high school who believed in you a little more than you believed in yourself. Most of us get what a coach is when it comes…
Raise your hand if you’re ready for some precedented times — had your fill of the unprecedented ones? I’m right there with you. Add to that a steady stream of uncertainty — in climate, business, health — and the urge to pull a blanket over your head can be very real.And yet… resist we must….
Having grown up playing in teams and working in theatre, community is something that has always been a given for me. You have people around you, and everyone is working towards a common goal, whether it is winning the game or surviving a particularly grueling rehearsal process, you have or make friends who help keep…
I have always been a goal-oriented person, so setting and achieving goals comes naturally. Or maybe it doesn’t – maybe it’s an acquired skill that I learned so early in life it’s always felt like a positive consequence. If you want A, you do B, and you’ll get A. But our world isn’t always like…
